Thanks, Mother Earth, for Stowe’s Epic Snow Miracle

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – Since we can only ski or snowboard on Mexico’s volcanoes with a helicopter, and many snowbirds catch the spring skiing when they fly North, some of us miss regular skiing and snowboarding in the U.S. and South America, as well as stories about them.

Here is an amazing miracle I witnessed in the U.S. last week to show you the power of giving gratitude to Mother Earth. Marie Mercedes Sanchez, the UN Sustainability officer from Nicaragua asked us to spread these stories about the Snowdance Phenomena “to wake up communities to live in more harmony with Mother Earth to help solve this Climate crisis.”

Equinox Love Fest in PV Hopes to Heal Trump’s Heart

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – Everyone is invited to our Equinox Love Fest at 5:00 pm Tuesday, March 21, on Los Muertos Pier in Puerto Vallarta. Bring flower(s) to this multi-cultural fun Oceandance. A stunning traditional Azteca-Huichol ceremony will follow at 6:00 pm next to the pier.

In solidarity with the Equinox ceremonies around the world sending love to Mother Earth’s heart to heal Her, our intention is to send those global tsunamis of Love also to President Trump to heal his heart. Then he may fully experience the ecstasy of giving love to all Americans, Mexicans, Humanity and Mother Earth. This will help President Trump and other leaders to see the God in EVERYONE and all life forms, so he naturally wants to do right actions in harmony with Mother Earth for instead of a few, the good of ALL, so he is well-loved by many more. And that includes protecting the water and air of ALL Americans. Love is the most powerful energy in the universe, so the Force is with us!
